A clutch is connected between the end of the first transmission shaft 6 and the end of the second transmission shaft 7. The first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7 can be connected or separated by the clutch. When the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7 are connected, their rotation speeds are kept the same, and only one power input is required. When the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7 are separated, in order to realize that the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7 run at different speeds, the outer wall of the top frame 3 is installed with a sealing disk sleeved on the outer periphery of the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7, and the side of the sealing disk The first reduction motor 4 and the second reduction motor 5 are respectively installed on the wall, the output shaft of the first reduction motor 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the second transmission shaft 7 through a reducer, the output shaft of the second reduction motor 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the first transmission shaft 6 through a reducer, the outer periphery of the first transmission shaft 6 is sleeved and fixed with first driving teeth 11 distributed at equal intervals, the outer periphery of the second transmission shaft 7 is sleeved and fixed with second driving teeth 12 distributed at equal intervals, the first driving teeth 11 are meshed and connected with a first transmission chain 9, the second driving teeth 12 are meshed and connected with a second transmission chain 10, and the first transmission chain and the second transmission chain are both composed of a plurality of sub-chains 91 rotatably connected by pins;
[0026] An object recognition mechanism is installed on the top of the top frame 3, and a weight measuring mechanism is installed on the top of the rack bottom frame 2.
[0027] Among them, the object recognition mechanism includes a lane detection frame 13 and a photoelectric sensor 14. The cross-section of the lane detection frame 13 is U-shaped, and the lane detection frame 13 spans the first transmission chain 9, the second transmission chain 10 and the partition 8. The top of the lane detection frame 13 is constructed with circular grooves distributed at equal intervals, and the photoelectric sensor 14 is nested and installed in the circular groove. The photoelectric sensor 14 is respectively located above the first transmission chain 9 and the second transmission chain 10. The photoelectric sensor 14 can identify the appearance shape of the conveyed object and the pasted barcode, QR code and other information.
[0028] Among them, the weighing mechanism includes a pillar 15 and a gravity transmission device. The pillar 15 is installed on the top of the frame bottom frame 2. A gravity sensor 16 is installed on the top of the pillar 15. A cover is installed on the top of the gravity sensor 16. The top of the cover is rollingly connected to the first transmission chain 9 and the second transmission chain 10 through rollers. The gravity sensor 16 can detect the weight of the conveyed object.
[0029] Among them, partitions 8 are respectively arranged between the first transmission chains 9, between the second transmission chains 10, and between the first transmission chain 9 and the second transmission chain 10. The partitions 8 are installed between the inner walls of the top frame 3. Balls are nested and installed on the side walls of the branch chains 91, and the balls are rollingly connected to the side walls of the partitions 8. The arrangement of the balls reduces the friction between the first transmission chain 9, the second transmission chain 10 and the partitions 8, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the first transmission chain 9 and the second transmission chain 10.
[0030] Among them, the photoelectric sensor 14 and the gravity sensor 16 are both electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the first reduction motor 4 and the second reduction motor 5 are both electrically connected to the PLC controller through the frequency converter. The PLC controller controls the working power of the first reduction motor 4 and the second reduction motor 5 through the identification information fed back by the photoelectric sensor 14 and the gravity sensor 16.

[0032] The top of the first transmission chain 9 and the top of the second transmission chain 10 are both higher than the top of the partition 8 .
[0033] It should be noted that the present invention is a multifunctional automatic lane separation device. When in use, the object is above the first transmission chain 9 and the second transmission chain 10, and the first transmission shaft 6 is connected to the second transmission shaft 7 through the clutch, the first reduction motor 4 or the second reduction motor 5 drives the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7 to rotate, and the first transmission chain 9 and the second transmission chain 10 run at the same speed to drive the object to move. When the object moves to the bottom of the lane separation detection frame 13, the photoelectric sensor 14 and the gravity sensor 16 simultaneously collect the appearance shape information and weight information of the object, and feed it back to the PLC controller. The PLC controller issues corresponding instructions based on the feedback data, and then the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7 are separated under the action of the clutch, and the first transmission shaft 6 and the second transmission shaft 7 rotate at different speeds under the action of the second reduction motor 5 and the first reduction motor 4 respectively. At this time, the object deflects and moves from the fast side to the slow side until it slowly moves to the slower transmission chain.
